Picking the perfect gift for your kid at Christmas is a tricky task for any parent.

It might only be June but December will be here before you know it and you don't want to be left scrambling for a present on Christmas Eve.

This year sees the popular Hatchimals toy and the lifelike Luvabella doll make the cut alongside a wide range of tech toys that includes the LEGO Boost and Fisher- Price ‘Teach n Tag Movi’.

Speaking about the list, Linzi Walker, chief toy buyer for Argos said: "This year’s top toys list is a fantastic blend, as toymakers evolve childhood favourites alongside the introduction of newer and more technology-led gifts.

"There are many opportunities for children and parents alike to embrace user-friendly technology this Christmas. LEGO Boost provides everything needed for children to make five different LEGO models that can then be coded using a free app. The Fisher- Price ‘Teach n Tag Movi’ is an interactive play buddy that helps kids learn on the go. And music lovers will love SoundMoovz, an exciting wearable tech toy for all ages where players can create their own beats and rhythms as they move by using Bluetooth-connected bands on their ankles or wrists."

A poll of more than 1,000 parents of children aged 16 and under, carried out by the retailer, showed many will be looking to buy gifts early - if they haven't started already.

One in seven parents (13 per cent) said they had already started buying presents for their children. While almost a third (29 per cent) are planning to buy gifts for their kids over the summer period.

Over half of parents (54 per cent) said they were planning on buying a huge statement gift alongside a few stocking fillers for their kids this year.
